Overview
I am a 24 year old fistula survivor. In 2020, I was pregnant and lost my baby. Two years later, I was pregnant again and had a long and painful labor. Sadly, my baby did not survive the birth and died in the hospital. Soon after, I developed a fistula. After being treated, I am trying to get back on my feet and farm a little but I need to start earning more money.
My goals are to start a business and sell clothes.
I need $200 for a sewing machine, fabric, and other supplies to start my business.
Meeting this need will help me because I will start earning enough money to support myself and become successful.
